Read this passage from Mrs. Charles Gulick, an anti-suffragist arguing against giving women the vote

Someone said recently: "A man must have a place to go from and to come to." In order to make him continue to want to go from and come to his home, there must be something there to make him look forward to the home-coming with pleasure as the reward of his labor. If this home is kept by a woman who cannot be at home often when most needed, who labors under the excitement of the political campaign, how long is he going to look forward to his home-coming? Of course, the answer to this is that most women would not spend any more time over politics than they do now. But if that is so, of what use will they be as voters, and why add a perfectly useless body of voters, when this addition to the electorate will mean an increase in the expenses of the government and consequently higher cost of living, already too high for the average family?

A student wrote the following claim about Mrs. Gulick’s argument. Which statement provides the most direct example of evidence from the passage to support the student’s claim?

Mrs. Gulick’s negative opinion of women voters is demonstrated by her condemnation of women who ignore their wifely duties.

Therefore, the most direct example of evidence from this passage is option D, because this is the only option that specifically mentions how women might neglect their wifely duties by not being at home when their families need them.
